Lets get right into it shall we, usually the first thing that I personally like to do is simply get to know the horse. What I mean by that I will enter their stall, corral , etc and just sit down and observe them. What I am basically doing is feeling them out and in turn I am letting them feel me out as well. I am also learning their individual personality, so that I know for later on what will be the best way to approach their training. Remember all horses learn differently . Something that I have learned from a lifetime with working with and around horses is that they are just like teaching our kids . And that they all learn differently and pick things up at different paces . So the first key is you have to have a lot of patience.

That brings us to another key point I would like to make. Just like our kids , we send them to school , they go to learn but we don't expect them to sit in a classroom ALL day now do we? Of course not, they occasionally go outside for recess and go to lunch, don't they? So why is it I see some trainers going hard until both the horse and trainer get frustrated . If the horse isn't getting what your putting out there go back to something they do know. Also have a dedicated round pen and stall or corral .

Well that does it for this post . Just some things to think about and get you started . Remember to like and share this page or bookmark it and keep checking back for more installments on training your own horse and building that bond between both of you . Happy trails .

& nbsp;          In my years of training horses one thing I have seen time and time again is horses with people problems, especially when it comes to their people asking them in all the wrong ways to get into a cramped, dark cave. We have to remember some simple principles when it comes to training horses. First and foremost, horses are prey animals. That, simply put, means that they eat grass, and other things eat them. They have only two defence strategies, fight or flight. And most of the time they are going to choose flight over fight every single time.          They are also a lot like me in the sense that we are both very big very claustrophobic creatures. We do not like tight enclosed spaces. They would much rather be out in the wide open. We have to understand that and understand why. To be able to know how to get them to willingly go into a space that they don't want to go into in the first place.           So why are they so claustrophobic? You see it goes back to th
